The character of baseball legend, Derek Jeter, in Luis Castillo’s memoir, “Clubhouse Confidential,” was quite different from what fans thought he was. His charismatic character was enough to leave even the former president, Bill Clinton, speechless.

He used to breeze by his team’s batboys and attendants and uttered, “How’re you doin’, biatches?”
The person who was obsessed with staying out of trouble kept this side of his hidden from his fans and media as well. Maybe because of his obsession only, he was given the title, ‘Mr. Clean.’
